Villa Creek Restaurant Review

: Villa Creek fuses an “early California” culinary style with a commitment to local ingredients. Chef Tom Fundaro changes up the menu often, especially with nightly specials such as braised short ribs with just-picked chanterelles. Among our favorites are the grilled rib-eye with blue fingerling potatoes, the crispy pan-roasted salmon with a bright kumquat and kale salad, and --- if you’re sitting at the bar --- the sautéed shrimp swimming in spicy garlic sauce (ask for a couple extra tortillas to sop it up). Indeed, the bustling bar overlooking the city square often offers the best seat in the house --- you can also sit on the back patio or in the high-ceilinged, Mission-style dining room --- and it’s a favored watering hole for local winemakers. You’ll find their labels at Villa Creek, plus several microbrews on tap. For dessert, it’s hard to go wrong with the crème brûlée, but it’s tough to pass up the bread pudding when it’s available.
